Home field
Washington State is worth +5.2 points (±4.0) more at home than on the road since 2018 — top third of FBS, 70th percentile.

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads -1.4 at home vs. away over 93 games — inside the ±6.6 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.
